Background and Purpose
Section 70110 of the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002
(Pub. L. 107–295, Nov. 25, 2002)
provides that the Secretary of Homeland
Security may impose conditions of entry
on vessels requesting entry into the
United States arriving from ports that
are not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures. The Coast Guard
has been delegated the authority by the
Secretary to carry out the provisions of
this section. The Docket contains
previous notices imposing or removing
conditions of entry on vessels arriving
from certain countries and those
conditions of entry and the countries
they pertain to remain in effect unless
modified by this notice.
The Coast Guard has determined that
ports in Syria are not maintaining
effective anti-terrorism measures.
Accordingly, effective March 20, 2008
the Coast Guard will impose the
following conditions of entry on vessels
that visited ports in Syria during their
last five port calls. Vessels must:
• Implement measures per the ship’s
security plan equivalent to Security
level 2 while in a port in the above
country;
• Ensure that each access point to the
ship is guarded and that the guards have
total visibility of the exterior (both
landside and waterside) of the vessel
while the vessel is in ports in the above
country. Guards may be provided by the
PO 00000
Frm 00117
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ship’s crew, however, additional
crewmembers should be placed on the
ship if necessary to ensure that limits on
maximum hours of work are not
exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest
are met, or provided by outside security
forces approved by the ship’s master
and Company Security Officer;
• Attempt to execute a Declaration of
Security while in a port in the above
country;
• Log all security actions in the ship’s
log;
• Report actions taken to the
cognizant U.S. Coast Guard Captain of
the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters;
and
• Ensure that each access point to the
ship is guarded by armed, private
security guards and that they have total
visibility of the exterior (both landside
and waterside) of the vessel while in
U.S. ports. The number and position of
the guards has to be acceptable to the
cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the
Port prior to the vessel’s arrival.
With this notice, the current list of
countries not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures is as follows:
Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, GuineaBissau, Indonesia, Liberia, Mauritania,
and Syria.
